Let's Dance = best album he could make at a point in his career and life (approaching midlife crisis) when his inspiration was at its lowest ebb.

When you consider Under Pressure and the soundtrack version of Cat People that had (if I recall correctly) been recorded the year before, it's clear how much better Let's Dance could've been. The same goes for Tonight and Never Let Me Down with tracks like When The Wind Blows, This Is Not America and Girls. I'd rather listen to the songs from Labyrinth than most of the other album tracks from that decade.
